MURDER AT SEA.
Red-HOt Goals Heaped Upon Sick Man by the
Chief Engineer of the Steamship Comal

GALVESTON Tex, Oct 20.-Upon the arrival
Of the Mallory steamship Conal from New York
yesterday, the master of the vessel, Capt.
John Risk, reported that during the voyage
soal-handler, John II. Graham, of New York,
had died of overhead and cramps, and was buried
az sea- This was the substance of Captain
Risks report at the naval office, required by
the United States statute in such cases. Moth
Ing more was thought OF the matter during the
lay, and no suspicion OF foul play existed at
the custom-house. It was, therefore. a matter
Of very great surprise when, later, oc tie
coalhanders. named Riley, who made the trip
with Graham. visited the Office OF United
States commissioner and made affidavit charging
William r. Mccullough, chief engineer of the
Comal, with the willful murder of Graham.
Rileys story. for savage and devilish inhuman-
ty, surpasses belief. In substance. he swears
ihat he was working in the same watch with
Graham. When tn ey were four days out from
New York. Crab am, while in the fre-roou at
work, complained to him (Rilsyl and others of
being sick, and unable longer TO hold up his
end. Shortly after this Chief gineer McCul-
Tough found Graham lying down, apparently
sleeping, whereupon the engineer remarked
an wake you up," and sui,ing the action to
the word. he deliberately took large shovel,
and scooplng it full of red hot Goals from the
furnace poured them over the postrate form of
the sick man, and followed up the work by
beating and abusing Graham as he lay wrthing
under the burning GOALS Riley further swears
that within fifteen minutes after Engineer Nc
Cullough had first assaulted Graham, the latter

the engineers room and laid upor grating
Perhaps the most extraordinary statement made
by Riley is that the body of the dead man
kept ice until the steamship was within
twelve hours run of Galveston. aud then buried
at sea. The commissioner Immediately issued
warrant charging Mccullough with murder on
the high sea, and he was arrested while aboard
the vessel by a deputy United States marshal.

A TWILIGHT PICTURE.

As came up the street in the rain last night
i CHANGED on home-like lovely sight,
More lovely in contrast because outside
Twas dark and rainy and chill beside;
The curtains were drawn. the lamps alight,
But there In the twilight softly bright
dropping figure, with head bowed low,
In willow-rocker swayed to and fro,
And close TO her breast q baby face
Like wee little birdie safe in it's nest
She was croning softly, softly and low,
And round her fell the bright fires glow.
almost felt twas a sacrilege,
A proclamation, to stand and gaze
On the unconscious picture before my eyes,
Awakening such tender memories:
1t belonged to the sacred walls of home,
And not for wanderer doomed to roam,
Seemed the holy sight; yet fingered long
And listened dreamiiy to her song:
"Holy angels guard thee darling,
Blessings on thy head
Heavenly blessings, without number,
Full on thee be she'd"
A sight for angels and hayward men,
1t would give them back their manhood again
wish could paint 1t, hang 1t where
The road leads downward to dark despair,
Poor, sad humanity would thrill know
at the blessed sight in the firelight's glow.
o. dear young mothers, you little know
The sermons you preach to the world below
From your heights of blessedness. lifted there
By the baby hands so dimped and fair;
Or how much indebted we all may be
To these lovely pictures we chance to see,
You make them for US, uncOnsciously.
God gave to woman the rarest crown,
Methinks even angels looking down
May envy the unknown, lowliest wife
With her crown of motherhood, sweetest Of
life;
How can women whose hearts ever beat sin
cere
Scorn the gift of God, more sweet and dear
Than anything else earth can bestow.
Like the git saw in the hrelightS glow.

st. LOUIS Globe Democrat (Rep.) The
result in New York simplifies matters
for the two great parties, SO far as re-
CARDS the Presidential contest next year.
1t means that Cleveland, if he lives until
the Democratic convention meets, will
receive the practically unanimous nomi-
nation of his party. That fact may as
well be considered now as settled. The
question before the Republican party is,
Who is the man most likely to beat
Cleveland in New York; Upon the wis
dom of this decision the fate of the next
Presidential canvas rests. 1t will be inn
possible to elect either candidate with
out the electoral vote of New York. We
still believe that the majority of the
voters in New York are Republicans on
Presidential issue. The Republican
nominee should be the man upon whom
the entire Republican vote can most
surely be united.
